2 Samuel 11:1

David and Bathsheba

1 ^a, ^bIn the spring of the year, the time when kings go out to battle, David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel. And they ravaged the Ammonites and besieged ^cRabbah. But David remained at Jerusalem.

2 Samuel 12:27-29

27 And Joab sent messengers to David and said, “I have fought against Rabbah; moreover, I have taken the city of waters. 28 Now then gather the rest of the people together and encamp against the city and take it, lest I take the city and it be called by my name.” 29 So David gathered all the people together and went to Rabbah and fought against it and took it.

Psalms 48:11

11 Let Mount ^dZion be glad!
Let ^ethe daughters of Judah rejoice
because of your judgments!

Psalms 97:8

8 Zion hears and ^fis glad,
and the daughters of Judah rejoice,
because of your judgments, O Lord.

Ezekiel 16:46-55

46 And ^gyour elder sister is Samaria, who lived with her daughters to the north of you; and ^hyour younger sister, who lived to the south of you, is Sodom with her daughters. 47 ⁱNot only did you walk in their ways and do according to their abominations; within a very little time ^jyou were more corrupt than they in all your ways. 48 ^kAs I live, declares the Lord God, your sister ^lSodom and her daughters have not done as you and your daughters have done. 49 Behold, this was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, ^mexcess of food, and prosperous ease, but did not aid the poor and needy. 50 They were haughty and ⁿdid an abomination before me. So ^oI removed them, when I saw it. 51 ^pSamaria has not committed half your sins. You have committed more abominations than they, and ^qhave made your sisters appear righteous by all the abominations that you have committed. 52 ^rBear your disgrace, you also, for you have intervened on behalf of your sisters. Because of your sins in which you acted more abominably than they, they are more in the right than you. So be ashamed, you also, and bear your disgrace, for you have made your sisters appear righteous.

53 ^s“I will restore their fortunes, both the fortunes of Sodom and her daughters, and the fortunes of Samaria and her daughters, and I will restore your own fortunes in their midst, 54 that you may bear your disgrace ^tand be ashamed of all that you have done, ^ubecoming a consolation to them. 55 As for your sisters, Sodom and her daughters shall return to their former state, ^vand Samaria and her daughters shall return ^wto their former state, ^xand you and your daughters shall return ^yto your former state.
